As bad as the first trek to the East Coast this season was for the Arizona Coyotes, this trip is somehow off to an even worse start.
Arizona’s defense was completely absent and Mike Smith was pulled mid-game in the course of an ugly 7-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night in Pittsburgh.
Scoring Summary
1-0 Pittsburgh - Scott Wilson opened the scoring for Pittsburgh as his wrist shot from the top of the far-side faceoff circle beat an unobstructed Mike Smith glove side. It was a perfectly placed shot, but ultimately one that Smith should have stopped.
